Korean Beef and Rice

This dish is super easy and I had it on the table in 15 minutes!  It has the same flavors as bulgogi, a traditional Korean dish.  But, with Bulgogi, thinly sliced sirloin has to marinate for hours.  So, not only was this quick and easy it was so flavorful.  It makes 4 small servings so if you have bigger eaters or want leftovers I would double this recipe.  

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed 
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce 
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil 
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger or 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced 
  • 1 pound ground beef 
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced 
  • Cooked rice, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS
  • In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and ginger. 
  • In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown ground beef and garlic until browned making sure to crumble the beef as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in soy sauce mixture until well combined, allowing to simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.  Top with green onions and serve over rice.

Pork and beef jerky in China town, Bangkok has been selling for nearly hundred years and has been very popular. I remember when I was a child living in Southern Thailand, every Chinese New Year my young adult brother or sister who worked in Bangkok would come home and bring us pork jerky in the red bright colourful tins. Nowadays you can find pork and beef jerky from China town at the luxury shopping centers in Bangkok or other big cities and also it is one of the most popular souvenirs for the tourists who visit China town in Bangkok .
